New School Construction Delayed Pending Approval

As of today we have not yet received approval from the Ministry of Education for the construction of the new school in North Perth. We will continue to work with Ministry staff and look forward to receiving the approval in the not to distant future. Given the time required for the construction of a school we must now announce that the new school will not be open for September 2015, as originally planned. A revised opening date will be announced once we have received the approval from the Ministry of Education.
